Safety

Intellisafe

IntelliSafe Surround can support in busy traffic and when reversing where there's restricted visibility. When a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches rapidly in a lane on either side of your car, BLIS™ can alert via a light in the left or right door mirror. If you don't react to the warning and start to drift into the path of another vehicle, the Steer Assist function can gently assist you back into your lane. The rear-mounted radar sensors continuously monitor your blind spots and a large area behind your car, day or night, and reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles. If there's crossing traffic when you reverse out of a parking space, Cross Traffic Alert can draw your attention with audible warnings from the left or right rear loudspeaker and by graphics in the centre display. The rear-mounted radar sensors can detect vehicles approaching from the side. If a vehicle is detected, Cross Traffic Alert can warn you, and then brake for you if necessary to help avoid or mitigate a collision. In optimal circumstances, it can also help detect approaching cyclists and pedestrians. Rear Collision Warning can alert fast-approaching vehicles if they drive too close and a collision is imminent. If a collision can’t be avoided, the front safety belts will be tensioned to help keep passengers in a correct position. The brakes will also activate if your car is at a standstill to further help reduce the risk of whiplash injury.

Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, these are only supportive functions.

Volvo On Call can also alert you at attempted break-ins and allows tracking of your car via satellite.

Environment

"CleanZone" Air Quality System and Pollen Filter

CleanZone lets you and your passengers enjoy clean, healthy cabin air. It monitors incoming air and can shut the cabin's air intakes if harmful substances are detected. A multifilter helps reduce the levels of dust, pollen, particles and chemical odours. And to prepare a fresh cabin environment on a warm day, the automatic CleanZone function helps ventilate the cabin when you unlock the car.
 

Start/Stop technology

The Start/Stop function further reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions in the city. When you stop at a traffic light or in a traffic queue, the engine shuts off temporarily to eliminate idling and restarts instantly when you resume driving.
